Salman Gambarov is an outstanding Azerbaijani jazz pianist and composer. In 1996, he founded the Bakustic Jazz group, assembling versatile musicians who were able to adapt to various concert projects. The ensemble's repertoire spans a variety of styles, from mainstream and cool jazz, drawing on rich traditions, to post-bop renditions of familiar combos, as well as fusion and modal jazz. One of his outstanding concert programs performed in Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Argentina, and other countries, LYATIF, showcases the improvisational talents of three musicians as a tribute to the 1930 Azerbaijani silent film of the same name.
